Cruisy live bands in the garden bar of the Albany on a Sunday arvo was a great way to round out a Sunday, you could take the kids too.

I reckon the whole area has lost its soul and direction.

Agreed sort of..

But is that North Shore's fault?

Development happens everywhere...

And its still got to be 100 X better than the other side of the bridge.....

I do miss those roosters

When we first moved into Auckland, the neighbours came by with welcome gifts. Very, very cool.

Points taken but progress was too fast and the infrastructure burst at the seams, councils can't see past the increased rates revenue etc etc.

The "other" side of the bridge? Ick.

Yup, them roosters were cool.

All that crap that folk spout on about Aucklanders is totally unfounded. They can get stuffed if they say nasty things about Aucklanders............. Read my thread on The Coast to Coast and Find out why I hold the Aucklanders dear to my heart now.

Ciao for now, Coast to Coat write up will be done real soon, have to squeeze out some zzzzzzzzzzz'z now

Well Done Woody!
Ya gets back what ya put out there.
Funny thing is, most people in Auckland don't actually come from here.
